Miss Alaleh Shakourianfard

Registered Psychotherapist

“A compassionate psychotherapist primarily working with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma and pain.”

About Me

When depression, anxiety, trauma, or persistent pain weigh heavily, finding a path forward can feel overwhelming. I offer a compassionate space to gently process these difficult experiences. Our sessions provide a calm, confidential environment where you can share openly. We work together to find clarity and develop practical ways to move towards greater well-being. If you're seeking this kind of supportive journey, I'm here.

Approach

With those heavy experiences present, I guide a steady, paced exploration that attends to thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations so you feel neither rushed nor overwhelmed. Sessions in Burlington or online, in English or Farsi, blend gentle grounding, somatic awareness and small, achievable steps between meetings to test new ways of coping. We name patterns, practice skills together, and pace any difficult memories or sensations so change feels tolerable and real. This way of working tends to help people seeking practical, compassionate support through persistent distress and discomfort.
